I must admit I've never been a fan of April Fools' Day. The element of surprise does not excite me, especially when it interrupts my work or thought process. However, I couldn't resist sharing the following prank designed to catch your kids off guard.

When preparing an after school snack on April Fools' Day, you can rely on the traditional Oreo cookie to lend a helping hand. Gently twist the cookies apart and remove the cream filling with a knife. Replace the filling with white toothpaste and reassemble the cookies. Arrange the cookies on a serving plate and place it on the kitchen counter. When the kids arrive home after school, watch the element of surprise as they bite into their mouth-watering snack!
